No matter how much Qin Lang wanted to end his conversation with Zhang Binglin as soon as possible...... Education, as it turned out, was just his wishful thinking and unrealistic fantasies. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unless he officially announces the end of the conversation, it will definitely not end.

Because, very unfortunately, even though he had completely and unreservedly made public his thoughts, intentions, and the path he had arranged for China, his interlocutors still could not accept his explanation—the stubbornness common to mankind was clearly displayed in Zhang Binglin's body, prompting him to continue to oppose Qin Lang.

"How can China become a vassal of other countries?" Zhang Binglin questioned. Maybe it's a logical strategy, maybe it's not, but either way, just emotionally, he can't accept it at all. No Chinese who love the country can accept it.

Qin Lang knew what he was thinking, and it was not surprising at all. Although not all, it is certain that the vast majority of Chinese have a similar mindset, an innate stubbornness.

An arrogant mentality that has gradually formed over thousands of years and penetrated into the bone marrow, the kingdom of the Celestial Empire.

Regrettably, in this day and age, when one of the world's great powers, the undisputed hegemon of East Asia, has been reduced to a lamb to the slaughter, there is nothing to be gained in this self-righteous mentality – neither for the country nor for the individual.

"Can't?" He snorted, "Maybe it's a mistake that China has been strong for too long." Although the Chinese still know the idiom 'lie down and taste guts', they have completely forgotten the deeds of Goujian, let alone put aside their arrogance and emulate this ancient king. ”

Zhang Binglin was stunned for a moment: no matter the tone or content, Qin Lang's criticism is not like the remarks that an egoistic American businessman should make, but like a parent facing unfilial children...... Of course, this may have been just a ploy he used to induce China to voluntarily become a vassal of the United States, however......

Thinking about it carefully, Zhang Binglin finally confirmed that it was just Qin Lang's means, not that he really hoped that modern Chinese would follow suit. And more importantly, times have changed completely, and the relationship between China and the United States is not as simple as that of Yue and Wu.

"It may be a good idea to emulate the ancient sages," he said slowly, gradually refining his logic and carefully choosing every word, "the gap between China and the United States is far greater than the gap between Vietnam and Wu, and once China becomes a vassal of the United States, it will be difficult to get rid of this status......

Qin Lang interrupted him. "That's something for China's political leaders to think about, not for me. I just remind you that without Western technology, relying solely on the power of China, the gap between China and the world powers will only become larger than it is now, not smaller, and regaining the status of a great power is just a meaningless fantasy. ”

"Mr. Qin, you can't help but despise the ability of the Chinese people too much." Zhang Binglin retorted, but not strongly—he himself did not know whether his objection was correct.

However, it is indeed wrong.

"Contempt? It's funny. Despise. Qin Lang repeated the word again, and seemed to find it very interesting.

Zhang Binglin was overconfident. Of course, this was his limitation, his vision was not broad enough, and he did not know the history - as a matter of course, for him the stories were in fact the future - and it was not clear what a difficult task it was to transform a backward agricultural country into an advanced industrial country; And if anyone wants to turn the country into a strong, independent state, it will be even more difficult.

History has proven this twice: the first was the Soviet Union, which successfully exploited the economic crisis of the capitalist world, but even then the country paid a huge price and ended up with only a flawed industrial system; The second was China, which, with the aid of the Soviet Union, had a relatively complete heavy industry system in the shortest possible time, but in the end it still needed to import technology from developed Western countries.

And neither of these examples can be repeated - at least not by Zhang Binglin and his comrades. None of these people have Joseph. Vissarionovic. Comrade Zhu Gashweili and the first generation of state leaders of New China could not do what they could; And now, there is neither an economic crisis that has spread throughout the capitalist world to exploit, nor a country like the USSR, nor a Nikita. A head of state like Khrushchev, who was willing to help another country build an entire industrial system, although the original intention of this move was still to serve the national interests of the Soviet Union.

Therefore, Zhang Binglin and his comrades can only return to the path he has chosen for them. Although there will never be a Khrushchev in the United States, the capitalists will shift their industries to China, where human resources are cheap, because of the rising labor costs.

This is the only chance, there is no alternative. China has missed all the opportunities to complete the primitive accumulation of capital and carry out the industrial revolution by plundering other countries, and it will take another half a century for new opportunities to come, and the price will be even heavier.

For the revolutionaries of the present, unless they are willing to give up and leave the work to the next generation of revolutionaries, they will have to take on some responsibilities that they are not willing to take.

"As long as you want China to become an independent and powerful country, you must accept my plan." Qin Lang's tone was unquestionable. "It's your only chance."

"Just a chance?"

"Just chance. It is even possible that it is far more likely to fail than to succeed – if China's political leaders forget their responsibilities or make the wrong decisions at the wrong time. ”

"But how do we gather strength, how do we get rid of the United States?" Zhang Binglin is still asking questions.

"That's not my job, and it's not your job. It will take a long time to complete the industrialization of the country, so your question belongs only to the future Chinese political leaders. All you can do is choose and nurture your successor as you see fit to continue your business. And I, and my successor, will do everything in my power to keep the situation within our interests. ”

Qin Lang unceremoniously emphasized that future to his collaborator, once again trying to end their conversation. But for Zhang Binglin, until now, he has only gotten rid of some of his previous unrealistic thinking, and hopes that Qin Lang can point out more new thinking that he should have.

The conversation is not over yet.

However, it was not so easy to keep the conversation going, and even after thinking about it for a few minutes, all he could think of was an extremely naïve question. "Even if I can groom a successor, with the power you have installed in the past, you still have the advantage."

"It's true, I have a strategic advantage." Qin Lang did not deny Zhang Binglin's accusation at all, and was even a little proud, but Zhang Binglin's next question once again put him in a situation where he couldn't laugh or cry.

"So how can my successor get around your nails?"

What kind of problem is this? It's like the French counterintelligence agency sending a telegram to British intelligence, "How many spies have you planted in France, who they are, where they are, and how to find out" -- even when the two countries were fighting side by side, the staff of the French counterintelligence agency would never have the luxury of expecting the staff of the British intelligence services to answer such questions; Of course, even if the British did answer and gave a true answer, the French would never believe it, and would only see it as a conspiracy.

Zhang Binglin must understand these truths.

"Mr. Zhang, don't you realize how ridiculous it is to ask me to provide you with a way to deal with me?" Qin Lang's lips furrowed, and he squeezed out a sneer, "We are partners, but we are also potential enemies. You should be wary of me, not something to rely on. ”

"I'm sorry, it was my mistake, Mr. Qin." Zhang Binglin said that he was full of hope that Qin Lang could always play the role of his ally rather than the ultimate opponent. But. He shook his head to himself. Obviously, no one could change Qin Lang's decision—except for himself.

Well, he will have to stand on his opposite side and do something as he suggests.

But perhaps, this is what Qin Lang wants him to do; Although the behind-the-scenes controller will do whatever it takes to sabotage his plans for his own sake, he still points the way, and it is clear that he and his successors will be able to get the job done.

Strange arrangement. Zhang Binglin was still curious. He still couldn't figure out what kind of person Qin Lang really was—but he was sure that he wasn't a savior.

"It's a pity that you don't want to be the savior of China." Zhang Binglin sighed reluctantly.

"There has never been a savior, nor does it depend on gods and emperors." Qin Lang laughed mockingly, "You should listen to "The Internationale." Even on diametrically opposed political positions, I still admit that it does contain truth. ”

"I'll listen to that song." Zhang Binglin was silent for a while, "The last question, what if we fail?" ”

"I'll celebrate. Of course," he put away his smile and said word by word: "From China's point of view, even if you all fail, there will still be more outstanding revolutionaries."
